From May 10 through June 14, Those Daring Enough Will Get to Participate in
the "Wipeout" Road Trip, Featuring the Spinning Log Roller and Sucker Punch Wall,
for a Chance to Win Fun Prizes!
Just like the popular "Wipeout" obstacle course that delivers laughs, moans and groans to your living room, daring participants will get a chance to partake in the "Wipeout" Road Trip with a modified replica of the course. The replicated course will be set up outdoors and will feature the ever popular Spinning Log Roller and Sucker Punch Wall that will offer participants a chance to win ABC and "Wipeout" branded prizes which may include water bottles, rally towels and t-shirts.
The road trip will kick off at Walt Disney World Resort on May 10-11and travel to select destinations, ultimately ending up at the CMA Music Festival from June 11-14. Just like the lucky contestants on the show, fans who participate will get a chance to wobble across the Spinning Log Roller or have a splendid wipeout, as well as trying to avoid getting slammed by the Sucker Punch Wall. Their attempts will be captured on video and emailed to them so they can be uploaded to social networking sites and shared with friends and family.
In addition, all fans will have the opportunity to get their picture taken with Ballsy, the "Wipeout" mascot, as well as watch an introduction video from "Wipeout" hosts John Henson and John Anderson that includes a sneak peek of the upcoming season and promos on flat screen TVs mounted on the "Wipeout" Road Trip RV.

The Qualifier boasts amazing new obstacles, including Plank in the Face, Hurtles and Gyro Sweeper. Brace yourself in the all new Wipeout Zone with the Catapult, Gears of Doom and more high stakes challenges. And the fan favorite obstacle -- the Big Balls -- will return, but with a twist: "The Motivator," a massive anvil, sneaks up on contestants propelling then onto the Big Balls if they hesitate.
Each week, 24 daring new contestants of all ages, shapes and sizes go head to head through four rounds of demanding but hilarious obstacle courses to win the title of "Wipeout Champion" and the $50,000 grand prize. In the end, only one contestant will win, while everyone else will Wipeout!
